Detailed answer below.

Detailed Answer:
HI Hala,
Thanks for the query.I understand your concern
Eczema is an autoimmune disorder...&needs to be diagnosed with an expert dermatologists consultation..I guess,you have not consulted such expert till now.Other similar conditions like fungal infection/ allergic dermatitis need to be excluded/diagnosed..as these conditions do have specific treatments &can be taken care of with them.
Once it is confirmed to be eczema....one should get a regular &prolonged consultation of the expert dermatologists, to learn &understand to manage the symptoms effectively by combined treatment(anti inflammatory&antibiotic medicines +ultraviolate rays exposure as per need/,have a positive psychological approach with supportive counseling,learn relaxation techniques,avoid itching/avoid triggering factors causing flares)
Lifestyle changes like regular moisturizing skin,application of steroid ointment /avoiding itching,exposure to trauma or infection/avoid psychological stress/avoiding allergens do help in better management & avoiding acute exacerbations.
As you have hands involved...you should be more careful about cleanilness/avoid using strong soaps, washing soda,injury to skin. Use protective gloves .
Though it takes long time to control it ...one can definitely learn to get minimum symptoms&lead comparatively comfortable life .
I hope, you find the answer useful.Any follow up query is welcome.
Thanks
